Severe Bruising And Pain On The Back And Ribs After A Fall. Taking Vicodin. Blood In Urine. Is It Due To The Fall?

Thanks for your query.
In 73 years post menopausal female ,chances of fractures are quite high post fall in the bath room .Sometimes immediate post fall X-Ray don`t show fractures ,which become clear after some days of fractures due to bone changes at fracture site .
Fracture can be some where else .Severe pain post fall ,not relived by good analgesic suggest some fracture or bony injury .
So repeat X-Ray spine ,pelvis & ribs is desirable in such cases ,along with analgesic and local application of gel or cream,
Bright red blood in the urine can be due to analgesic drug or also due to bony injury of pelvic bone .
Consultation with orthopedic doctor may be more beneficial.
Hope I have answered your query, I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
